Commissioners
The Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC) was created by an act of the National Transitional Legislative Assembly on September 8, 2005. The Commission is charged with the responsibility to regulate and monitor compliance with the Public Procurement and Concessions Act of Liberia. The object of the Commission is to ensure the economic and efficient use of public funds in public procurement and to ensure that public procurement and concession processes are conducted in a fair, transparent and non discriminatory manner.
Following the passage of the act and the inauguration of the elected Government on January 16, 2006, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf appointed a 7-member Commission headed by Hon. Keith K. Jubah.
Other members of the Commission include:
Mrs. Esther Paegar - Co-Chairman
Mr. Jenkins Wongbe - Member
Ambassador Timothy E. Thomas - Member
Cllr. Joseph Jallah – Member
Mr. Charles E. Collins, Sr.-Member
Mr. Clarence K. Momolu, Sr.-Member
These Commissioners, as required by the PPC Act, were vetted and approved by the Liberian Senate. They have a 4-year tenure and are eligible for re-appointment for only one other term of four years whether or not the second term is successive. The role of the 7-member Commission is mostly policy making while the day-to-day operation of the Commission is run by a team of competent individuals headed by an Executive Director Mrs. Peggy Varfley Meres. Five other Directors were appointed to assist in carrying out the operations of the Commission. The Directors, under the supervision of the Executive Director, are responsible for the five program areas of the Commission. They include:
1. Compliance and Monitoring
2. Policies, Procedures and Standards
3. Capacity Building and Training
4. Finance and Administration
5. Information Dissemination and Communications
